Layer, split, and velocity switch

Within a combination, you can use key position and veloc- ity to determine which program will sound.

The programs assigned to each timbre can sound in three ways: as part of a layer, a split, or a velocity switch. A combination can be set to use any one of these methods, or to use two or more of these methods.

Layer

Layer refers to settings which cause two or more pro- grams to sound simultaneously when a note is played.

Program A

Program B

Layer:

Two or more programs sound simultaneously.

Split

Split refers to settings which cause different programs to sound on different areas of the keyboard.

Program A Program B

Split:

Different programs will sound in different areas of the keyboard.

Velocity switch

Velocity Switch refers to settings which cause different programs to sound depending on the velocity (keyboard

playing dynamics).

�	Strong
Program B		Keyboard playing
Program A	Soft	dynamics

Velocity Switch:

Keyboard playing dynamics (velocity) switches between different programs.

On TRITON STUDIO, you can use a different program for each of up to eight timbres, and combine two or more of the above methods to create even more complex setups.

	Program A
Program B	Program D	Strong	Keyboard playing
	Program C	Soft	dynamics

Example:

B and C/D are split. In the lower keyboard range, A and B are layered. In the higher keyboard range, C and D are switched by velocity and layered with A.

As an additional possibility, you can set the slope for a key zone or velocity zone so that the volume diminishes grad- ually. This lets you change a split into a keyboard cross- fade, or a velocity switch into a velocity crossfade.

Program A	Program B	Keyboard X-Fade (keyboard
		crossfade):
		As you play from low notes
		to high notes, the volume of
		A will fade out, and the
		volume of B will fade in.

The Compare function

As you are editing a combi, you can use the [COMPARE] key to listen to the previously saved version (as it was before you began editing). Pressing [COMPARE] again (the light goes dark) returns you to the version you are editing.

If you continue editing when the [COMPARE] key LED is lit, the LED will go dark, and the current set- ting will now be the sound that is recalled when the [COMPARE] key LED is dark.

Timbre 1–8 program, pan and volume P1: Edit-Program/Mixer

Here you can assign programs to each timbre 1–8, and set the pan and volume for each one. (These settings can also be made in the Program Select and Mixer pages of P0:

Play.)

Edit-Program/Mixer page

Category, Program Select (Bank/Program)

Assigns a program to each timbre.

When the “Bank/Timbre Program” select menu is displayed, you can select programs by bank.

When the “Category/Timbre Program” select menu is displayed, you can select programs from the 16 cat- egories. (☞p.35)

You can also use the BANK [INT-A]–[EXB-G] keys to select the bank of the program.

If you wish to select programs by receiving MIDI pro- gram changes, do so in P0: Play.

Pan

Specifies the panning (stereo position) for each timbre. A setting of C064 will reproduce the oscillator pan setting of the program. Adjusting this parameter will move the sound to left or right while preserving the pan relation- ship between the oscillators. A setting of L001 is far left, and R127 is far right.

Volume

Adjusts the volume of each timbre.

Create the overall sound by adjusting the volume balance between timbres. The “Volume” setting is an important aspect of creating the sound, and this setting will have a significant effect on the overall impression produced by the Combination.
